Influx of women love to wear high heels, careful leg atrophy
Ben Wang, July 26th — Recently, Xiao Bian's colleagues recommended me to watch the Korean drama *Princess of the Prosecutor*. As usual, Xiao Bian ended up getting completely hooked on Korean dramas. In the first episode, the heroine made a bold decision by wearing high heels for her "bad" character. At that moment, regardless of the storyline, I found myself mesmerized as she finally put on those "dream" high heels, as if entering a magical wonderland. It was like watching a real-life "dog blood" scene — dramatic, intense, and hard to look away.
You girls, have you ever felt that rush when seeing someone in beautiful high heels? Even if you're not at work, are you really willing to give up your confidence? Well, experts are here to warn you — wearing high heels for too long can lead to some serious issues!
**Long-term wear of high heels can cause calf muscle atrophy.**
For many women who spend most of their day in high heels, this is a common reality. But have you noticed that after walking in flat shoes, your ankles and calves start to ache? If you've been feeling this way, it's time to pay attention — your calf muscles may be shrinking.
According to a study published in the *Journal of Experimental Physiology*, prolonged use of high heels causes the muscles and ligaments in the lower legs to shorten. This happens because the heel takes over the pressure that should be handled by the muscles. Over time, this leads to "muscle atrophy." Once your muscles shrink, switching back to flats can cause pain and discomfort due to the sudden stretching.
High heels are not only addictive but also a hidden curse for muscle cramps. Researchers from the University of Manchester found that women who wear high heels five days a week may experience a 13% loss in leg muscle strength over two years. That’s why so many women find it hard to take off their heels once they’re on — their muscles have adapted to the height, making flats feel uncomfortable.
Experts explain: “High heels can make women look more elegant and slim, satisfying certain psychological desires. But the real reason many can’t go back to flats is that their muscles have shrunk. When they try to wear flat shoes again, the stretched muscles and ligaments cause pain.â€

**How to prevent leg muscle atrophy from high heels?**
Experts suggest that the best way to avoid muscle atrophy is to avoid wearing high heels whenever possible. However, if you can't avoid them due to work or social reasons, there are steps you can take. Before putting on high heels, do some proper stretching exercises for your legs and joints. For example, if your foot is pointed upward, stretch your muscles and ligaments first before lacing up those heels.
